UTF-8 Conversion
« on: January 08, 2007, 09:39:10 PM »
I'm looking into adding UTF-8 support to the converter.  Before I do that I want to try this first to see if it will work.  After installing SMF go to Admin > Forum Maintenance > Convert to UTF-8.  That will convert the tables and column to the UTF-8 collation.  After that try the converter.  Doing that should work for the most part.  If not I'll look at another alternative.

Ok that error is due to a change that I made in convert.php.  I have to update the phpbb2_to_smf.sql to reflect the change.  I'll update it now and post in the topic.

Ok give this one a try.  Install SMF with the correct charset that you want to use then convert.

Try using the converter in this topic: phpBB 2.0.19+ along with the convert.php from here.
